After Hearing a Mysterious "Hissing" Noise in Her Dryer, Woman Finds Missing King Cobra

Elvis may have left the building, but now he has been returned — and is now hopefully in a very secure cage.

Florida authorities recently captured a missing 8-foot king cobra named Elvis, after a woman heard hissing noises every time she put clothes in her dryer, CNN reports. The Orlando area resident immediately contacted local officers, who discovered and wrangled the venomous snake.

Mike Kennedy, the snake's owner, lives just 1,500 feet from where Elvis was found. He pleaded not guilty to charges of failing to report the missing snake immediately. And after ensuring the enclosure is now safe, authorities returned Elvis to Kennedy.

"It's horrible that this has happened," he told CNN. "It has been incredibly traumatic for me and my family."

Well, let's just be glad the Great Snake Scare of 2015 has ended and we can all go outside and dry our clothes in peace.
